The best restaurants in South Norfolk East of England

Went for a birthday lunch the service was quick the food well cooked and presented the staff were friendly and polite.the desserts were also very nice the wife had the sticky toffee pudding and I had the meringues we always go there for special occasions.

Definitely one to avoid now, had many lovely visits with previous owners, the welcome was poor, staff not interested, food average, restaurant was cold, staff kept leaving doors open, no thank you or goodbye, it’s fair to say our special family occasion was extremely disappointing, we will not return or recommend.

Lovely family meal made even better by our waiter Zane very patient with our children and offered advice to suit their preferences

Brilliant all you can eat breakfast, unlimited coffee, Nikki was very helpful and friendly excellent service thank you

Horrible. the meat looks like it could have come from a dog or at least a decendent of a dog. The breakfast is usually quite good in weatherspoons, but not queen of Iceni. It looks like something from a bin. The only time I can accept all of this is for a drink after a Norwich game.

Visited The Crown last night for a Birthday Dinner celebration. This Country Pub, Restaurant is going from strength to strength since it was taken over by by Lucy and Darryl. From the minute you approach the Thatched building with its beamed interior, you feel as though you have walked into a country cottage living room. Comfortable chairs, relaxed ambience, well stocked bar and a changing menu including fish, steaks, veg, vegan, and a little from afar. It’s always nice to have something with a different twist! Plenty of spacious tables in both front bars and a long atmospheric restaurant behind the bar. If you haven’t visited yet, put it on your eating out list, I don't think you will be dissapointed with the welcome, the friendly staff or the good food.

We booked a table for 14 people for a Sunday lunch. The meal was absolutely delicious, plenty of it so tasty. The staff were efficient and the service was excellent. The place was very busy and to caterer for 14 diners in one sitting is no mean feat. All the food was served quickly and hot . Thank you all the staff

Waited 35 mins for carvery people queuing around the restaurant next to people eating guy doing carvery looking very stressed need another person to help him , We were in a queue of 40 people !!! Never again

This place has weird hippie vibes mixed with smelly incense and indian music. I used shazam to work out what it was playing. It was “While My Sitar Gently Weeps Banaras Baba & Kolkata Kid” Very strange music unrelated to jungles and more Hindu religion. I was expecting food all there was some cakes and empty sausage rolls in the cake container on display. We aren't from the area and just googled cafes close by. The cakes were average, not fresh. The place was empty except for two other people there. I didn't like the dangling plants every where. One to avoid if you're ever in the area.

What can I say, due to the pub we was in deciding to close the kitchen as they was too busy. My wife decided to give the railway a call but not expecting to get in. Well they managed to fit us in at the last minute. The pub was very nice and clean, and cannot fault the staff for their service. The food was well presented and tasted lovely, we will most definitely be going back in the future.

This place is a dump and plays horrible loud music which doesn’t belong in this area. If he wants to do this, he should open up on Prince of Wales Road

One of the worst experiences I have had in a restaurant ever! Took ages to receive both starters and mains, with at least a 45 minute gap in between them… which went very slowly as I couldn’t get the awful potted crab taste out of my mouth for the entire time. When asked if they had any gluten free bread, we were met with a “maybe” and then they never mentioned it again. As mentioned, potted crab for starter was definitely out of a can, and the chips that came with my steak were 100% McCains oven chips. I don’t mind McCains, but nearly £40 for that and an overcooked “rare” steak, quite frankly my love for them goes out the window. However, it does provide quite good entertainment watching staff constantly apologising for 1 hour waits, with them seeming to think that dumping a bread roll on any aggravated table sorts out the matter… the only saving grace there was Evie, one of the waitresses, of whom appeared to be sent to any of those aggravated tables to make them laugh a little - only staff member with personality. So shout out to Evie, as I doubt the restaurant would have lasted long without her. £105 in total for 2 people, 2 courses, and quite frankly, I think my tortoise has had better meals.

Lovely clean restaurant and very friendly, efficient service. Everything served to the table. Wide choice of freshly cooked and prepared dishes and daily specials. Cakes and pastries fabulous choice Definitely worth a visit if meeting friends or visiting the area. Plus lots of seasonal plants and gifts

Excellent food & drinks & cheerful speedy service. A seat outside for weary travellers to enjoy people watching. Te He

Absolutely fantastic 8 course tasting menu! Everything was delicious and well executed. Nick was great, he looked after us all night. It was lovely to see the chefs coming out with the food to explain the dishes. Would highly recommend well done
